1834-1907

Aligned to literacy in science and technical subjects, this volume helps students understand the central ideas of Mendeleyev's periodic law. Mendeleyev's major breakthrough was his arranging of the elements in sequence by atomic weight but recognizing that there were gaps where no elements had yet been discovered.

Explores the periodic table of elements as well as periodic law and the man who created the periodic table--Dimitri Mendeleev.

"Looking at some of the major inventions and discoveries shaping our world today, Breakthroughs in Science profiles the research leading up to the discovery (not just profiles of the one or two key "players"). Each book describes the "famous" moment and then examines the continued evolution illustrating its impact today and for the future"--.

Tells the story of Dmitri Mendeleev's organization of the elements in the periodic table and discusses chemical symbols, atomic numbers and mass, states of matter, and the differences between the table's groups.

A short biography of nineteenth-century Russian scientist and chemist Dmitri Mendeleyev that profiles his life and works which included his formation of the Periodic Table of the Elements that forms the foundation for all advances in chemistry.

Chronicles the adult life of Dmitrii Mendeleev, the creator of the periodic table, examining his efforts to make Russia a great scientific center and gain fame himself, and the resistance he met from the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Examines the life and works of nineteenth-century scientist and creator of the periodic table of elements, Dmitry Mendeleyev, and discusses his experiments and theories and his influence upon the world of science.
